Readers Theatre is an oral reading activity with the emphasis on reading aloud. Students use their voices, facial expressions and gestures to interpret characters in scripts or stories. It's great for motivation, a wonderful activity for ESOL students and helps all students develop better language comprehension and fluency.

Keep it simple: no memorizing, no sets, no costumes, and no props. Just lots of fun.
